Kerry celebrates local artisan producers

At Simple Speedy Snacks we like good food stories! As we know Ireland is in a terrible recession so it is important that we support local Irish food producers! Taste Kerry is a good time to have a look at what Kerry food producers have on offer!

If you are a foodie in or near Tralee, Co. Kerry on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of April, then go and sample all of the wonderful products from Kerry’s food producers at Manor West Retail Park.

The event is in association with Taste Kerry, which wishes to celebrate Kerry’s wealth of culinary talent and resources. Kerry food producers will display their products in the main hall.

“Taste Kerry brings together the talented hands, creative minds and skills of the many artisan food producers in the county. Small producers need all the support they can get and all of our members are delighted with this opportunity to meet their customers on a one to one basis and introduce their produce to many new customers in one of the busiest Shopping Centres in the Country,” said Mary Beary, coordinator for Taste Kerry.

The event will run from 12 noon to 6pm on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th April.

Recession or not … there is nothing that can stop the Irish from enjoying their food – never seen anything like. Came to Ireland in the end of the last recession 1991 and I was amazed how much food people where shopping – never ever seen trolleys like that in my life and when I shopped I got a trolley full for nearly nothing – that has changed now .. a full trolley in not that cheap anymore. Irish LOVE their food .. and I think it will be the last thing they cut down on.

I would love to find events like this when we plan our trip to Ireland this summer! I am so excited reading some of your events to think I’ll actually have the chance to see and TASTE this lovely countries landscape.

I’m in the States and wish I could support this wonderful event. I think that wherever we are in the world we ought to give the greatest consideration to eating local and supporting local food producers and artists. I hope your effort is extremely successful! Debra
